[libstdio lossage with inline member functions ]

There's one darn obvious question: does this bug also occur if you get
a stock FSF G++ distribution, build it, install it in /usr/local/, and
use it to build a stock FSF libg++ and libstdio?

I'd guess maybe not.  If so, then the problem is in the NetBSD
`integration' or in one of the local NetBSD patches.

If not, then it's a g++/library incompatibility, which would probably
bite other platforms and has presumably been solved by now.


(This also happens on pmaxes using as and ld from stock binutils
2.8.1, so The toolchain is not a factor.)

Yes, probably, unless you also add `static'.

Virtually no chance.
